	Where do I set up the screen to never go blan? both in console
	(white on black) mode and in X?  Every so often my video card
	driver (mga) remains blank after 10 to 15 minutes.  And gets
	stuck in this mode.  --FWIW, this did not happen in xorg-6.9--
	only in  the 7.x versions.  My hunch is to never let the screen
	blank.  The screensaver does seem to work, tho.

	Anybody help me here?

	thanks much,

	gary
